The snow on Hokkaido was rather clean, but it rolled a few times in the atmosphere. It was hard to avoid being stained with dirt.
Lu Xunqian had built a temporary distiller out of the things that could be used in the wooden house. He placed the snow in the pot and slowly melted it.
The mushrooms were placed near the fireplace, in a basin. The remaining heat from the fireplace was slowly melting the ice away.
When the snow started boiling, the steam would condense on the lid of the pot and flow into the glass along the jar. Lu Xunqian placed the full glass next to the water jug and poured the water into it.
After almost all the snow had been boiled dry, about half a jar of water had been filled up in the urn.
Not long after he was done cleaning up, Chu Xinxia woke up.
"You haven't slept for long. Aren't you tired?"
Chu Xinxia shook her head, "I can't sleep well, and I can't sleep at night."
There was a wind now, howling in the night, and it sounded scary.
If he slept too much during the day, he would not be able to sleep at night. Listening to the sound of the wind outside was indeed scary.
Lu Xunqian put the mushrooms he had harvested aside, "Make some mushrooms for dinner tonight. It's from my portion of ingredients." Lu Xu Qian pointed to the mushrooms that he had collected all day, "They have been kept in the corner all this time. I'm afraid they'll break down if I don't eat them."
Chu Xinxia nodded and got up to prepare some food.
While Chu Xinxia was busy cleaning up the pots and pans, Lu Xunqian walked to a corner nearby and began breaking the branches he had just found.
The branches had been picked up from the outside with snow on them. When he brought it back, it was a little damp, so he couldn't use it. He had to first melt the ice around the fireplace and dry it before breaking it.
Lu Xu Qian was swinging them one by one, not paying attention at all as he was cut by the small wooden spike. Soon, blood started to drip down.
Because of the blood type problem, Lu Xunqian had always cared a lot about bloodshed. However, for some reason, he was not surprised to see the blood. He just pressed it with his other hand, and when the blood stopped, he actually went back to breaking the branches.
In the evening, when they had finished eating and were warming themselves around the fireplace, Chu Xin Xia saw that there were some wounds on his hand.
"What happened to your hand?"
The wound looked very deep, and along the length of his index finger, from the root to the top, it seemed to have completely cut a hole in the side!
Shocked, Chu Xinxia quickly picked it up to check.
"It's nothing. I accidentally got hurt while burning firewood, I …"
Chu Xin Xia saw that the wound was a little swollen and licked it without thinking!
She didn't have any other thoughts, just that the two of them were here and didn't even have a medical kit. What if the wound was so deep that you got tetanus?
The thought that saliva could be sterilized made her mouth go straight to her mouth.
Her soft lips were warm as she licked the wound. It was a little painful, a little hot. It was unknown if it had been roasted by the fire in the fireplace, or if Lu Xu Qian had lit a fire in his heart and was actually sweating a little.
Only after Chu Xinxia had licked the wound carefully and made sure that all the filth had been cleaned up did she put Lu Xu Qian's hand down.
Raising his head, he saw Wu Zhangkong staring at him with eyes as dark and unfathomable as spring water.
"You, what happened to you …" Chu Xinxia couldn't help but take a step back, but she was then held by Lu Xu Qian and kissed with her head lowered!
Her lips were soft and supple, with a faint smell of blood.
The two of them had clearly lived together for so long, but she was just like a little girl who didn't understand the affairs of the world. She always carried a shyness and retreated, making him love her even more. Little by little, she held her lips, constantly twirling them, causing her to breathe heavily.
It was unknown when the two of them had forgotten their love, but Lu Xu Qian had actually completely unbuttoned Chu Xin Xia's clothes.
Ever since Lu Xunqian had parted ways with Chu Xinxia, he had lived the life of a monk. It was even more impossible for Chu Xinxia to find a man, the two of them seemed to have been restrained for a long time.
When the gate opened up, the two of them couldn't help but shiver.
Watching Chuxin Xia's eyes gradually became a layer of white mist, like grievance, yet also like desire.
Lu Xunqian slowly tossed and turned, occasionally teasing Chu Xinxia. Chu Xin Xia bit her lips, as if she didn't dare to make a sound.
He was slow, but he also had an indescribable domineering aura.
Chu Xinxia's heart couldn't help but tremble. With a blink of her eyes, a single tear fell down.
Lu Xu Qian went over and licked her tears one by one.
"Don't cry, be good …" The sugar in his voice made her heart turn sweet.
Lu Xunqian's speed was extremely slow, so slow that Chu Xia felt as if she had always been a little bug in her heart. She kept scratching her head, but it seemed like she couldn't get rid of the itch.
However, she was also enjoying this feeling very much, as if she could feel Lu Xu Qian's care for her from his breathing, causing her to be so happy that she was about to suffocate.
In the quiet little house, there was only the faint scent of wood and the crackling of flames.
When there was silence, one could hear the sound of snow falling outside the house, and when the two of them made a sound, they could only hear the pleasure of the other one beside them.
Waves of heat hit the two of them, causing them to be unable to restrain themselves.
After a hearty and happy end, Chu Xinxia fell into a deep slumber.
When they woke up again, they were both hungry.
Chu Xinxia glanced at Lu Xunqian, but found that he didn't say anything. She got up, put on her clothes and went out.
Chu Xinxia's heart thumped, and she felt like crying.
Didn't he want to say anything about what he had just done?
And just as she was about to cry, she thought of Meizhi who was at the foot of the mountain.
Yes, why did he say something responsible to her?
He clearly already had a lover …
Chu Xinxia gave a smile that was uglier than crying, and then fiercely slapped herself!
That night, Chu Xinxia slept alone near the fireplace, while Lu Xunqian sat at the door all night long. From time to time, he would come over to add some firewood, but he never said a word.
Chu Xinxia had been awake all this time. She lay there quietly crying, but she didn't dare to make a sound.
Two days later, the two of them were still in the midst of their awkwardness, but they discovered that they had a new problem.
There was no more water or food. There was even very little firewood.
Lu Xu Qian was a little anxious. The two of them had already been trapped on the mountain for five days. What could the people on the mountain do?
Chu Xinxia could not help but feel anxious as well. It would have been fine if she was only here, but Lu Xunqian was also here!
He couldn't let anything happen to him! He absolutely couldn't let anything happen to him!
Thinking of this, a bold idea gradually appeared in Chu Xin Xia's heart.
Since others couldn't get on, could they continue to risk it?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was feasible. Taking advantage of the fact that Lu Xunqian had fallen asleep that night, Chu Xinxia sneakily opened the door, preparing to go down the mountain and ask for help.
However, Chu Xinxia did not expect that once she opened the door, the snow that covered the sky would come. After walking a few steps, the snow on his shoulders was already as thick as two fingers. As he walked forward, he discovered that his surroundings were the same. When he turned around, he could still see the wooden house, but he didn't know how to find it.
He slowly walked forward. As he walked, he became more and more afraid. During this period of time, he even sprained his leg a few times. Finally, he helplessly turned back.
The snow mountains were just like that. All directions looked the same.
A bare tree, thick snow, nothing else.
Knowing that it was impossible to go down the mountain and ask for help, Chu Xin Xia could only lie on the ground and think about how to wait for help.
However, the worst part was that the next day, Chu Xin Xia had a fever.
After Lu Xunqian woke up, he went out as usual to find firewood for his meal. However, when he returned, he did not see Chu Xinxia wake up.
She usually got up at this time to make some kind of move, but why was she still lying there?
Feeling a bit worried, Lu Xu Qian walked over and touched Chu Xin Xia's forehead. She really had a fever!
